From the first time I put the fasteners on they are a bit harder to use than a brand I used on a truck a few years ago, but I think it will get easier once they been used a few times. The only place I could see some leaking is near the back of the cabon each end the metal indents down slightly, so that is where I will look to see any leaking down the road.

I just installed the same cover. Very easy install. Quality kit! I also used the Trifecta tailgate seal. A few days later I went to the car wash. The first thing I did was to drop the tailgate. No water..no a drop

On the tailgate itself. Not the bed.
ya I put two tiny pieces right by the back of the cab, it sort of indents down slightly, unfortunately my tailgate seal got old and doesn’t stick well at all!

Did you have to cut the plastic trim around the bed? I have the signature version and it says for certain trucks with the plastic trim you have to cut the plastic trim.

Trifectas are top shelf. I have had mine on my Ranger for years now and it still fits as tight as the one in the OP. Trifecta 1.0 I guess. LOL. The material is just starting to wear a small bit where the cover folds, but hardly noticeable. Still more years of service left in it.

No I didn’t, I did see the video that some may, but the Maverick has a standard bed rail lip that these tonneau covers attach to. Some older trucks do not have that lip, and some, like the Ridgeline, do not have that lip at all so on Ridgeline’s you have to install another rail to create the lip to install a tonneau cover.

Thank you! I just checked and the plastic trim and the truck lip are line to line for the Maverick, so it seems it is not a problem to install this cover. It just scared me as I saw in the manual which was saying for some trucks you have to cut the plastic trims.

I installed my cover. It was a little unclear how to position the cover towards the length of the truck but I hope I found the right spot. When I try too hook the clamps at the end, those are very close to the hooks of the bed but I still can close them. The other issue I have with this cover, that when I drive on the freeway, it flutters super crazily, that I am afraid to loose it. How are the other experiences with those? Otherwise the look of it is fantastic.
